An Eighty I ear.Old Fraud.

The New York Legislature of 1906
passed bill giving Il Greene county
quack doctor named John M. Crous
$1,000 in consideration of his making
public "a perfect and infallible remedy"
for the hydrnphobia. The bill seems to
have passed the senate, of which Dewitt
Clinton, Josep. G. Yates. Ezra L'Hom-
medieu and other distinguished men
were members, unanimously, and al
though it met with some opposition in
the House, it passed that body, with
some amendments which We're after

approved the measure. and it was signed
by the Governor. CrouS was required
by it to give bond in $1,000 to return
the money with interest in case the
remedy proved Intellectual at any time

Safety Apparatus for Car Stoves.

Col. Chas. W. Raphun, of the Bal
tlmore custom house, has devised a
plan to prevent railraad cars from
taking fire from the stoves in case of
accident His apparatus is a simple
arrangement of iron water tanks,
which would confine the heated Goals
and at the same time to allow water
to flow upon them and extinguish
the fire. He holds that by his plan
the stoves pow in use at small ex-
pense could be retained, and without
danger. A si:oilar device was invent
ed number of years ago by the late
Mr. Potts, secretary to President
Garrett, of the b & o. r. R., and the
trouble was to keep up the water sup
ply.

Chinese Costumes.

The principal feature of China
man "ostume is the fact that nothing
ever ITS but his stockings. His clothing
consists, really, of three or four shirts,
each opening in front and having five
buttons, a sacred number. These but
tons are never in straight row, but in
sort of semi-circle half around the
body. The outer garments have sleeves
foot longer than the arm, a fact which
affords abundant opportunities for
theft.
A Chinaman's jackets are his Their
mometer. He will say, To-day is three
jackets cold and if it increases at this
rate, tomorrow will be four or five
jackets cold"
Their shoes arewell known, and their
caps are of three or four different forms.
One they call the watermelon cap"
Of the shape of half watermelon, hav-
ing no front-piece, but instead, a knob
on the top by which it is handled. The
second is like a round top felt hat with
the sides turned up and others are of
various shapes. The color of the knob
on the top of the hat is the sign of rank
among mandarins. The lowest wear
gilt knob. then white stone, clear
crystal, pale blue stone, deep blue,
pale red and deep red in order of
rank. Yellow may only be worn by
the emperor's family, but as mark of
respect to age, men over sixty years by
special edicts are allowed 10 wear yell
low, this always emitting them to great
consideration among all classes.
The DUDE pantaloon probably origin
ated among the Chinese. From the
dawn of history, on state occasions,
officials and dressy persons will wear
sort OF pantaloon, lifting as tightly as
possible to the leg, and each leg being
entirely separate from is fellow. These
trousers are of silk or satin, and the
legs are held in place by being fastened
to WaiSt-band or belt around the body.
On the approach of cold weather the
Chinese increase the humber of their
garments, until sometimes they are like
animated bales of cotton, their arms
being forced into nearly horizontal
position; nor do they take off their
masses of clothing until the return of
spring.

Faces That Draw Money.

In this country, where money is king,
it is peculiarly fitting distinction to
put the heads Of our departed great
men Oh our currency. Everywhere the
most bigoted republicans will carry
General Hancock's picture in their
pockets and prize it highly. But to be
on 50 bill is not the highest >distinc-
ton. One might be on a SIS or even
800. Yet a still higher honor than
this is for statesman or soldier to have
his features stamped in the corner of a
draft or check. So it happens that
Stanton still draws from the Treasury
all the money used in the War depart
ment. and Amos Kendall draws that
for the Post Office department. All the
money got out of the Treasury depart
ment must be drawn by draft or check.
Each department has an individual
check, and upon this and no other can
its money be drawn. Stanton'S head is
stamped on the War department check,
and Kendall's on the Post Office. Chief
for the department of Justice, and Sew
ard certiies to the State department
check. Admiral Farragut draws the
money for the Navy, and Thomas E.
Ewing for the Interior department.
Chase is given more extended authority.
lis head is upon the treasurer's dis
bursting check. which must be used by
all disbursing officers in drawing their
money; he gives credit to the 4 per cent.
interest check, and controls the checks
of the Pacific railroad bonds. Dexter
figures on the assistant treasurer's
checks, the interest and the redemption
checks. Hamilton draws the interest
on the per cent bonds, and Seward on
the AIS.

AUS aALIA's GOLD FIELDS.
Difficulties Under Which the PreciouI
Metal is Obtained.

Difficulties Under Which the Precious
Metal is Obtained.
For some years the government of
Western Australia has offered a re-
ward of $4,000 for the discovery of
payable gold field within 800 miles of
Perth, it would almost appear that
profitable gold field had at last been
discovered. We learn that Messrs.
Malet and M'Ewen. who were sent by
the Government to explore the Kimber-
ley district, in the extreme north of
the colony have returned, after an ex-
petition which nearly proved disas-
trous to the explorers. They lost their
horses; and having consumed all their
provisions. only escaped starvation by
coming unexpectedly to settlers hut,
where they obtained assistance. The
party arrived barefooted, their boots
having fallen to pieces on the tramp of
one hundred miles. Mr.. M'Ewen nearly
succumbed to the hardships of the
journey. A quantity of the new gold
had already found it's way to England.
According to advices from Derby, the
port of the country named after the
present Lord Derby, and situated at
the head of Kings Sound-large num-
bers of people, who were totally unfit
ted for the work. were starting for
the Kimberley gold fields. AS the roads
are rough, and provisions scarce and
dear, with an absence of water, it goes
without saying that no one need VEN
ture in search of wealth without being
supplied with plenty of money and an
ample supply of provisions. The coun-
try is described as closely resembling
the Park Down District in Queensland.
The gold is much scattered, but the
gullies are numerous. 1t is expected
that so soon as the alluvial gold is
worked out, productive reefs will be
laid bare. The Kimberley district, con-
trary to what many have supposed, is
country four and half times the size
of Scotland, with splendid rivers and
and agricultural land. The climate
has been commended by Captain Grey
and other explorers as one of the finest
and healthiest in the tropics. Last
year the population numbered only
about one hundred white men; the
blacks who are not numerous,are tract
able. Sheep, cattle and horses thrive
we'll. so that, whether or not the gold
fields fulfil the expectations of those
who seek their fortune at the gold
- fields, there is fine country to develop.
Derby. the capital of this district, at
the mouth of the Fitzroy River, con-
sisted lately of but few huts and
tents, and is the station of the govern
ment resident. Should the crush" to
the gold fields continue, doubtless all
this will soon he chanred.

A Chicken Swallows a Snake.

City Marshal Toe Golden tells snake
story which he assures US is perfectly
true. Last Sunday forenoon. while sit
ting in the Court House Park, he noticed
a hah-grown chicken belonging to Jailer
Divelbiss picking at something in the
grass, with the evident intention of max
ing meal of it. On close examination
the object was found to be q common
grass snake about eighteen inches long.
The chicken pecked away at the snake
furiously for few moments, and then
gathering the head of his snakeship in
his mouth esssyed to swallow him
whole. But Mr.. Snake was not quite
ready to perform the Jonah act, and OBJ
stinately refused to go down into the
abdominal recesses of Mr.. Chicken.
Finding he could not swallow the snake,
which had tightly curled its tail around
his bill, the chicken managed to throw
it up, when, after pecking at it few
more times, he made second and sue
cessful effort, and his snakeship disap-
peared down the chickens throat

Poor Ferdinand.

LONDON, August 25.-The Standards
correspondent at Sofa says: Prince
Ferdinand is depressed in consequence
of the isolation in which he finds him
self at home and abroad"
ROME, August 25.-Government has
replied to the Porte's note that Italy
considers the election of Prince
Ferdinand to the throne of Bulgaria
legal, but that his assumption of power
is contrary to the Berlin treaty. The
reply expresses the hope that the
powers will succeed in effecting Pacific
solution of the problem.
LONDON, August 25.-Turkey has re-
fused assent to Russia's proposal for
coercive action toward Bulgaria, either
in the torn of occupation or by sending
Artin Effendi with q Russian commits
sioner 70 Bulgaria, to secure the cleo
ton of new Sobranje and new
Price. Turkey prefers to await con-
certed action by all the powers, parties
to the Berlin treaty, to fastening the
quarrel with Bulgarians. 1t is the
general opinion of leading European
diplomats that Germany gave her as
sent to Russian proposals for an Otto
man commission, and a Russian general
to settle the Bulgarian question, merely
to place herself in position to be able
to prevent Russia from taking any pre-
cipitate action which might again set
Balkans ablaze.
ST. PETERSBURG, August 25.-It is
said that government will make an eff
fort to prevent the legalization of
Prince Ferdinand's proceedings in Bull
garia, hoping thereby to compass his
downfall.
